Remko Scha: The Machines
Coinciding with his solo exhibition at Nottingham gallery TG, Remko Scha's The Machines will make their first UK performance since playing at the ICA in 1983. The Machines consist of mechanical devices that play suspended electric guitars via lengths of rope. A composer controls the intensity of the machines which in turn affects the sound & rhythm. Since Scha's death in 2015, The Machines are currently operated by Dutch composer and musician Samuel Vriezen.
